Strong STEM Focus Continues

The Physics, Physiology & Technology (PP&T) program, developed at CRDG in partnership with the Universit y of Hawai‘i’s Department of Physics and Astronomy and College of Education, is an innovative curriculum for ninth and tenth grades that incorporates basic physics with human physiology. In 2007, PP&T developers worked with teachers in high schools throughout the state piloting a teacher professional development course that combined physics content and inquiry teaching instruction, and evaluated pre- and post-tests created to gather data on the program’s impact on student learning.
